• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I have both, but had some trouble so finally reinstalled fs9 but it won't install. It hangs or stalls on cab1 or 2 files in disk 1.

Could it be that I have top get fs9 instlled AND THEN fsz? In other words, if fsx is on my machine something like this above problem will occur?

BTW- I tried an install on the wife's machine and it was installing just fine.
 
The two versions install completely separate...

...neither one will affect the other.

I suspect that you are having a CD read error problem with the FS9 disks.
 
I'm afraid of that too, but this isthe samedrive I've used all along for all my installs. I fear I have a serious computer problem. Checked for virus... none... even after full reinstall of XP. I'm in big trouble!
 
This sounds like a hardware problem.

Or it could be your computer is gunked up with dust, and this is chocking the air to either your CPU or your memory sticks. Take the take the side cover off your case and look with a flashlight. You can buy aeresol cans of compressed air to blow out the dust from the CPU heatsink and memory sticks.

The case has screens to filter dust, so blow them out too.

Or it could be your CD/DVD drive. You can buy a new one relatively cheap.

Less likely is a serious problem with your harddrive or motherboard.

You are really shure?

I have install the FSX after FS9 and after deinstall of FSX, the FS9 will not start by doubleclick on the FS9 Shortcut on my Desktop.

They tell me an error because of the FS9 Path in the Registry.

My solution was to start AFCAD and they restore my FS9 Path in the Registry.

After that the Desktop-Shortcut from FS9 works fine. :D
 
Hmmm...I had both on my Vista32 rig with no problems at all. Seems to me that they are two different programs. Why would they conflict?

Found the answer! I had a bad memory stick in #2 slot. Ifit were #1 I would have had some really terrible things showing up. This way it was more suttle. Anyway things work far better now.

Now... hoe do I make a hard point... landable surface? Also is there a way to do some kind of verticle "apron" or somethimg whre the seashore would drop a bit rather than 'rising' up to meet the land? I have an apron right to water's edge. The water is right at the same level or EL as my apron. How can I fix tahat?
